It was built from 1978 to 1982 and marked the top and the end of the traditional Grundig Satellit line. With its full SW range from 1.6 to 30 MHz, split up into 18 bands (including the streched 49m, 41m, 31m, 25m, 19m, 16m, 13m and 11m bands), its excellent FM reception with six programmeable stations and its digital frequency counter, it was certainly one of the most elaborated portable world receivers ever built. Its fantastic NF amplifier still generates astonishment, since SW and MW sound better than most plastic FM receivers of today. Almost 9 kilogramms weight on the handle, many knobs, switches and scales are adding, too.
